Two-factor authentication (2FA) enhances security for Apple ID by requiring two forms of verification to access your account. If you forget your password or cannot log in, Apple’s account recovery process on iforgot.apple.com helps restore access. First, you’ll be prompted to enter your Apple ID and a recovery phone number. Then, Apple sends a verification code to a trusted device or phone number associated with your account. Entering this code completes the process and confirms your identity, granting access. Using 2FA ensures that only you can access your Apple ID, even if someone knows your password. https://iforgotaapple.com/
